There are actually 4 groups.

Group 5: The vaccine is new and addresses a virus with a very high survivability rate. Therefore, better to wait and see if there are any unexpected side effects.

Perhaps you are onto something, given that we, as a society seem to lately embrace the labelling of each other.
I guess we will have to add at least a fifth group: Medical professionals and avid researchers who had done due dilligence via hundreds of hours of research and conclude that the choice should be entirely up to the recipient; that the human immune system appears the only way to confer true immunity, and true immunity appears to be the only avenue to establish herd immunity. Thus, the only way out of this mess is to open up everything, everywhere, and accept the deaths and losses such that the global economy can move forward, and the political chains cast upon us in the name of Covid-19 be loosed.

I don't want to take these vaccines...but the vaccinated may force it on everyone whether they meant to or not.

Don't work like that, sorry. Any medication weakens the natural immunity. Sometimes medication is needed, but the truth is that the less medication one takes, including vaccines, the stronger one's natural immunity.

Well unless the virus kills you first before you get your immunity. That is kind of the issue with the old and high risk.
Definitely some government mandates of face coverings there, it’s not offering any medical protection. Zero.

Face coverings for women, is that not true?
Maybe some minor amount of protection there.
I supposed there will be a pretty big outbreak otherwise.
There will be a shortage of oxygen, hospital beds, doctors and nurses. Just like every other area with low vax rates.
Much like Desantistan , in the US.

No, it means that people who have gotten it are still getting infected and spreading it. No one disputes that's the reality.

How do you even know the people pushing the draconian agendas are even vaccinated...lol

In recent weeks, there's been an exponential rise in cases, even with limited testing. (The Ministry of Public Health reports there's just been over 500,000 tests since the start of the pandemic for a population of about 40 million.)
On June 16, there were 2,313 new cases, which the United Nations reports was "the highest number of new cases [in Afghanistan] recorded in a single day since the onset of the pandemic."
And the United Nations says that nearly half of all people being tested in recent weeks — 42% — are positive for the coronavirus, suggesting it is widespread.
But due to low testing rates and the lack of a national death register, "confirmed cases of and deaths from COVID-19 are likely to be underreported overall in Afghanistan," according to the United Nations.

For many of them, yes. I am 60 years old, however, and have a rather checkered history of heart failure... to date, eight cardiac arrests (heart attacks), one stent, and a quintuple bypass. I am disabled now, due to one wall of my heart not moving enough. My blood flow is therefore too slow for me to do much except at a snail's pace. From everything I have heard, I am "high risk." And I still will not be getting the vaccine, not do I have any expectation that the virus itself can tackle me.
Why? Because I am anti-medicine as much as possible.
Most people today take pills at the drop of a hat. Head hurt? Pop a pill. Stomach ache? Pop a pill. Feeling down? Pop a pill. Can't sleep? Pop a pill. It's become our answer for everything. The typical senior citizen has a medicine cabinet that could pass for a fledgling pharmacy.
So yeah, maybe medicine is required sometimes... and maybe most people don't have my type of immunity. But they could if people had listened to me ten, twenty years earlier. When a mean virus pops its ugly head up, it's too late to decide to build up one's immunity.
Your statement about first taking the vaccine, then building up natural immunity simply won't work. The vaccine, any vaccine, will lower your natural immunity. That's just what they do. It's like putting out a fire by first pouring diesel fuel on it.

I'm sure none of them are, since they actually know what is in some of these jabs.
I say 'some' of the jabs because on top of the fact that likely half are simple saline (placebo - since this is an ongoing trial - you do know that right?), I believe the majority do not have the 'bad' stuff in them.

Taliban enforced ban on all vaccines. They don't wear masks, there is no social distancing and there is literally no healthcare nowadays in Afghanistan.
According to pro-vaxxers logic, Taliban should be killed by COVID-19 in a matter of weeks.
When shall we start witnessing that?
I'm dead serious and want an explanation. Thank you.
Covid only affects those that have TV and internet....
I'd like to see how North Sentinel Island is doing, but I don't think they'd allow anyone in to check.
